Did you like using the wiki? Why or why not? No cause it didn't let me edit
Would you have preferred a regular worksheet? I liked the questions here, easier than worksheets

His life:
Bereishit Rabbah 99:9- Yissaschar would learn Torah with the food provided to him from Zevulun. This shows that he knows how to enter into successful agreements with his brother.
In Bamidbar when they count the Shevatim it is found that Yissachar has 54,000 people. The reason for this is because they will be the judges of the Jewish people in Torah matters and since judge is Dan in Hebrew which has a gematriah of 54, therefore, they have 54,000 people.
